Serverless architectures offer elasticity, low entry cost and faster time to market without the operational overhead of managing servers. They are proven to be effective in many use cases such as Event Streaming, IoT data processing, Chatbots, Cron jobs, Microservices, etc. Serverless first mindset for building end to end solutions using serverless stack.

The session will demonstrate the IoT reference architecture build using serverless stack end to end. When building cloud native applications you can leverage the entire serverless stack starting from compute, object store, database, messaging, etc. During the talk we will demonstrate the building of an entire IoT Reference Architecture using serverless components leveraging Azure serverless services. We will demo on how IoT devices (Raspberry Pi with few sensors) will securely connect and transmit data to Cloud gateway. We will see in action how the IoT data streams using serverless data ingestion and further storing time-series telemetry data efficiently with serverless databases.

The session will also touch base on Serverless design patterns about how to leverage Hexagonal architecture as a serverless design pattern which enables easy migration to any cloud vendor (Avoid vendor lock-in) with least impact to the application if the need arises.

Serverless is definitely a step closer towards NoOps and becoming the de facto standard for building greenfield Cloud native applications.
